Sundays are for Beauty - Itzhak Perlman: Beethoven..
Itzhak Perlman, who has been paralyzed since age four from polio, went on to become, in the opinion of many, the greatest living violin virtuoso in the world. In the above video he's performing Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major, Opus 61 (3) with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in 1992. His biography is pretty amazing, and doesn't even mention his wonderfully engaging sense of humor.
We had the good fortune of attending Mr. Perlman's live performance of this masterpiece with the Jacksonville Symphony, on January 9, 2010. Magnificent!
Have a Beautiful Sunday.
